Logging time on creative projects

Overview

The time log feature allows you to track the time spent on a creative project.  

The creative project list in the production module has a "time spent" column that displays the total time spent by your creative team on a creative project.  Note that you may need to customize the production module list to display the time spent column.

You can display the detailed time log by putting your mouse over the "more information" icon.

 All users with the "Manage production" permission can log time by clicking the "Log time" button and filling the form.

 Also, a user may edit/delete its own time logs.  But may not edit/delete the time logs of other users.
